"Look at the good stuff you've done!"

Dean Fang looked at Director Zhu with a bruised nose and swollen face, and suddenly became angry.

The directors knew that they were in the wrong, so they all looked at their noses and minds, as well as quails.

Dean Fang looked at Wang Dali next to him again, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He also knew that the conflicts between the department directors in his hospital had existed for a long time, but he had always maintained a balance through his smooth methods.

I never expected that it would break out out of nowhere today.

Wang Dali was also asked to watch a joke.

It's really embarrassing and humiliating.

The only thing we can do is to suppress it first and ask everyone to stop making noise, so as not to embarrass the hospital's face.

After the people from Sanqing leave, we can settle accounts with these people one by one.

The fine, the fine...

Well, it seems like there's nothing you can do to them except fines.

Thinking of this, Dean Fang suddenly felt a headache and could only give Zhu Cao, the two instigators, a vicious look.

The two men felt the murderous look in Dean Fang's eyes and quickly lowered their heads, pretending not to see it.

"Ahem," Dean Fang coughed twice, forced out a smile and said, "Since everyone expressed their opinions, spoke freely, and fully communicated about the distribution plan, I have to respect everyone's opinions."

"Director Wang, let's see, in addition to general surgery, can we add some types of surgeries in other departments?"

Wang Dali was crossing his arms with his chest, feeling secretly happy watching the show, when he suddenly saw Dean Fang's direct gaze coming towards him. He suddenly felt a thump in his heart and screamed secretly.

He originally just wanted to talk to the two department directors and finalize the animal experiment plan.

Dean Fang asked him to introduce the surgical robot, but he didn't think much about it and thought it was reasonable.

Unexpectedly, it would cause everyone to scramble for it and even fight.

Until now, he is still a little confused. He is doubting himself. Do he think his products are so attractive?

Now that Dean Fang can't handle the arrogant and powerful men under his command, it's a bit embarrassing for him to represent the manufacturer.

Because he didn't want to offend these department directors, especially the boss's wife who was still standing in the crowd, watching eagerly.

Instead of asking your boss to greet you in person, you might as well open the back door yourself.

Thinking of this, Wang Dali could only agree: "Huh? Well, I think everyone's ideas are reasonable. How about adding some more types of surgeries?"

"However, it is better to have an easier operation. You have to consider the success rate of the operation. Besides, an operation that is too difficult is not conducive to promotion."

"In addition, we need to do animal experiments first. This number does not need to be too many, just one or two departments. When it enters the clinical stage, you can join in. This is absolutely no problem."

After hearing this, the directors all nodded involuntarily.

What happened next was a matter of course.

The two sides quickly reached a preliminary agreement.

Animal experiments will be carried out in cooperation with the interventional department and general surgery department to verify the basic functions of the surgical robot.

After entering the clinical stage, Sanqing will provide several more surgical robots for use by major departments in turn.

Interventional department, general surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, neurosurgery, urology, etc., ensuring that surgeons in these key departments have the opportunity to get started.

During the entire process, Sanqing will train the surgeons and collect feedback to make better improvements.

In this way, the directors achieved the results they wanted, and they all showed smiles of satisfaction.

Although Director Zhu was not very happy and felt that his surgical volume had been greatly reduced, he thought that there were still two Da Vinci robots available, so he remained silent.

After all, orthopedic surgeons are all muscular men, especially Lao Cao, who is 183 years old. His fists are really hard and it hurts when he hits them.

Director Zhu touched the bruise on his cheek and felt silently scared.

Interventional Department, in a spacious operating room.

After a week of renovation here, the room was divided into two halves by a thick radiation-proof wall.

There is a large glass window inlaid on the wall, and you can see the movement on the opposite side.

There is a brand-new surgical robot at the left end. The operating table for one person is located in the center, with four silver robotic arms shining with metallic luster arched around it.

The consoles are at the other end, connected to each other through pipelines. As long as the doctor sits here and focuses on the screen in front of him, he can have an unobstructed view of the patients on the operating table across the wall.

At this moment, the control room, which was less than 20 square meters, was packed with about 20 people, all of them surgeons from various departments who came to watch.

Everyone had excited smiles on their faces, waiting for the first animal surgery to begin.

Director Qian of the Interventional Department got started personally. He was sitting in front of the console and couldn't put it down, feeling the soft touch of the skin-like material on the two handles.

"Director Qian, preparations are complete. The experimental pig has been anesthetized and placed on the operating table."

A nurse's voice suddenly came from the console, reporting the situation on the other end.

Director Qian said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the glass window.

I saw the nurse on the operating table, attaching the monitor electrodes to the pig, adjusting the parameters, making preoperative preparations, covering it with a layer of blue-green plastic film, and then hurriedly opened the door and left.

"Very good, the operation has officially begun."

Director Qian raised his glasses, stared at the screen in front of him, and carefully operated the controller.

There is also a 50-inch large split screen in the control room. Other doctors gathered in front of the screen, watching it attentively and making comments from time to time.

Director Qian explained his steps while operating, his voice slowly turning from low to high.

His movements were very slow at first, but after he became proficient, he felt that it was not much different from traditional interventional surgery. With years of skill, his hand movements became extremely smooth.

"Look, the robotic arm is moving!"

"The radial artery puncture approach was successful."

"Contrast material is injected into the artery to complete the angiogram."

"The catheter entered, the guidewire completed the advancement, retreat and rotation operations, and successfully entered the thoracic aorta."

"Thoracic aortic stent implantation was successful."

"Next is the mesenteric artery."

"The balloon implantation was successful."

"Stents were successfully implanted in multiple locations including the renal artery, left iliac artery, and coronary artery."

"During the operation, there were no vascular injuries, blood clots, bleeding, or spasms."

"The interventional surgery was successfully completed!"

When Director Qian stood up from the operating table sweating profusely, the audience burst into warm applause.

The hum of the machine stopped.

Everyone rushed out of the control room and came to the operating room at the other end, surrounding the operating table.

Director Qian inspected the pig for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. No obvious abnormalities were found. I will do a postoperative pathological examination later."

"If there are no problems in the pathological examination, it will be enough to prove that the operation was very successful."

Seeing this scene in front of them, several interventional doctors were so excited that they burst into tears.

"It's great. Now we can perform surgery remotely, and we won't be afraid of radiation anymore."

"The robot's operation can be so precise, and the surgical quality is quite high."

“I no longer have to worry about hand shaking, the operation stability is great.”

"The director used a robot, and the accuracy of the surgery has improved."

"The director's movements were very smooth. The guidewire catheter entered and the stent was released. The whole set of movements was without any pause."

"The operation time has also been greatly shortened. It used to take at least an hour to complete the implantation of these stents, but now it only takes half an hour."

"It doesn't matter so much, as long as you don't eat radiation."

"Haha, that's true. We no longer have to wear heavy lead clothes weighing 40 to 50 pounds."

"When I think of this, my waist no longer aches, my legs no longer hurt, and I feel energetic."

"If I can lose this fifty pounds of weight, I can do five more surgeries every day."

The doctors in the interventional department were so excited that they could not help themselves. Doctors in other departments were stroking the robotic arms one by one and were dazzled by the sight.

"Wow, these four robotic arms are so cool."

"It's so cool that one arm can be broken down into three hands."

"This is the legendary mechanical aesthetics. I really want to try it right away."

"Oh my god, look at this ultrasound scalpel and this endoscope, they are all installed."

"How come this robot hand is so flexible? It turned 360 degrees with just one touch."

"Tsk, tsk, your hands are much more flexible than mine. I definitely can't do this move."

The doctors were chatting away, and the operating room instantly became noisier than the vegetable market.

Until the pig on the operating table grunted and opened its confused eyes.

Only then did the doctors realize that so much time had passed and the anesthetic had lost its effectiveness.

After hearing the news, the nurses came and took the pig away for pathological examination.

Director Qian clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, everyone, don't stand here and delay the nurse's work."

"I tried it and it felt very good. In the future, everyone can abandon the bulky lead clothing and no longer have to suffer radiation."

"Our doctors in the interventional department all have the opportunity to get started, one by one, don't worry."

The doctors returned to the control room and waited for the next operation.

Seeing another doctor from the interventional department sitting in front of the screen, happily operating the controller.

Doctors in other departments felt deep envy in their hearts.

They all look forward to completing animal experiments as soon as possible and officially starting clinical trials.

This way they can each take turns to experience it.

****

If we talk about animal surgeries in the interventional department, doctors are envious of them.

The animal surgery at the General Surgery Department made the onlookers feel a little complicated.

The operating room of general surgery does not need to be modified because there is no radiation. Doctors can stand directly next to the operating table and watch.

Therefore, you can witness the cool operation of the surgical robot with your own eyes.

On the operating table, there was also a quiet pig lying on it.

After careful observation, the assistant physician reported its vital signs.

The chief surgeon sat in front of the operating table in the distance, referring to the 3D image on the screen, and started the pancreatic tissue cleaning operation.

The thick robotic arm moved, slowly moving above the pig's belly, and then divided into three slender robotic arms.

An ultrasonic knife was installed on one of the robot hands. After a neat operation, a 1 cm wide incision was cut on the pig's belly.

With dazzling operations, the three robot arms inserted the installed ultrasonic scalpels, endoscopes, non-invasive grasping forceps and other operating equipment into the pig belly.

The whole process was very cyberpunk, full of high-tech mechanical style, which brought a huge impact to the doctors onlookers.

The next operation will be performed inside the pig belly. Everyone came to the console and watched the images on the screen.

Under the control of the surgeon, the search equipment quickly determined its position in the abdominal cavity.

Subsequently, the ultrasonic scalpel incised the anterior and posterior walls of the stomach, as well as the cyst wall.

Then, the suction device starts working to suck out the cyst fluid and remove the necrotic tissue from the pancreas.

Subsequently, the manipulator operated the instrument to anastomose the posterior wall of the stomach and the cyst wall.

Place the gastric tube in the cyst cavity and continue to suture the anterior wall of the stomach…..

The entire operation process was carried out in an orderly manner.

Soon, the images showed that the pig's stomach sac walls were firmly anastomotic and the pancreas was clean.

In this way, it only took 45 minutes to complete the entire operation.

The amount of bleeding was only 10 milliliters, which is basically equivalent to the amount of a Coke bottle cap.

The final surgical mark left on the pig's belly was only a small 1 cm incision.

The doctors looked at the realistic 3D images on the screen and were all speechless.

Although some of them have also used da Vinci surgical robots, Sanqing's surgical robots are undoubtedly better.

The image is clearer, there are more manipulators, and the functions are more complete.

The matching ultrasonic scalpel and endoscope are also easier to use.

Even in a small space, the surgeon can control three robotic arms to complete a delicate operation.

There is no need to touch or even see the patient directly.

3D imaging technology allows the patient's surgical site and surrounding conditions to be displayed in detail.

This means that in the future, the surgeon can perform surgery even if he is not with the patient.

Even hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, robots can be remotely controlled to complete a series of difficult surgeries.

Thinking of this, the doctors were all shocked, and instantly felt a serious sense of crisis.

There is no doubt that with such performance, surgical robots will be widely popularized in the future and benefit a large number of patients.

Patients in remote areas can use surgical robots to receive surgeries from experts in first-tier cities.

Similarly, this mode of surgery will also reduce the requirements for assistants, and local medical staff with low level of skills can also cooperate well to complete the surgery.

It seems that if they don't learn to operate the surgical robot as soon as possible, it will definitely be quite difficult to get along in the future.

Fortunately, for experienced surgeons, the process of getting used to surgical robots should not be too difficult, and the learning curve is likely to be quite short.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became eager and rushed to speak, vying to be the next surgeon on board.

"Get up after the operation, don't wait any longer."

"I'm next, get out of the way and let me come."

"Hurry up, let me experience this feeling of man and machine becoming one."

"With it, I alone can save patients all over the world."

"It only takes a few fingers, plus the pedals under your feet, to control four robotic arms with your hands and feet, to complete a difficult operation. Just thinking about it makes you feel so beautiful."

"This is just a robotic arm. There are three more robotic arms like this. Oh my God, what can be done with 4 robotic arms and 12 robotic hands? I can't even think about it."
